Publisher's Description

For use with BibTeX and (la)TeX, BibDesk is a GUI front-end for managing BibTeX databases in their original .bib form. Search, organize, and cite with drag n' drop. Publish bibliographies to the web as RSS XML.

What's new in this version:

Add support for JSTOR in web group, thanks Douglas Stebila

New template key for Vancouver style authors

Don't set delegates to nil when deallocating, as the views may not be valid at this point

Save preferences toolbar configuration

Fix link in help

Don't append full stop for corresponding template key at end of sentence

Many, many features allow sorting or searching against all attributes. Updates have links to external databases, and can grab the references in .ris format.

Cons

What seems to work best for archives is a single .bib file, but now mine is over 1000 items. Occasionally, it just winks out. There are some "quirks" with importing entries, but this process has been smoother on recent updates.

Summary

I used to edit .bib files in a text editor. BibTeX let me forget those days!
